Wangling F4BM2
Ceramic PTFE
Ceramic-filled PTFE with Dk 3.5 and Df 0.002 at 10GHz. Better CTE matching with FR-4 than pure PTFE, easier to process in hybrid stackups. Ideal for 5G antenna, automotive radar, and microwave designs where processability matters as much as performance.
F4BM2 FAQs
What is F4BM2?
Ceramic-filled PTFE laminate (Dk 3.5, Df 0.002 at 10GHz) from Wangling. The ceramic filler improves dimensional stability and CTE matching vs pure PTFE.
F4BM2 vs F4B
F4BM2 has higher Dk (3.5 vs 2.65), meaning narrower traces. Trade-off: better FR-4 CTE compatibility, easier hybrid processing, more dimensionally stable. Choose F4B for absolute lowest loss; F4BM2 for manufacturing ease.
Hybrid stackup compatibility
F4BM2 CTE (12-16 ppm) closely matches FR-4 (14-17 ppm), reducing warpage risk in hybrid builds. Standard FR-4 prepreg bonds well after plasma treatment.
